Key Features
- 34-position dual-row SMT header with 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch in top-mount (TM) vertical orientation for standard board interconnect
- Gold-plated contacts (A suffix) delivering contact resistance below 30 mΩ for reliable low-level signal performance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) and K (kinked lead) options support automated reflow assembly with secure SMT solder anchoring
- 3 A per contact current rating across 17 positions per row supports mixed signal and low-power distribution
Applications
The TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR is designed for high-density board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnect in embedded computing platforms, industrial automation, and telecommunications equipment where a 34-pin 0.100" top-mount SMT header is required. Its kinked lead (K) feature improves solder joint robustness against mechanical stress during PCB handling and vibration. Tape-and-reel packaging makes it efficient for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the kinked lead (K) option on TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR improve mechanical reliability?
The K (kinked lead) feature adds a bend in the contact tail that increases the solder joint surface area and mechanical locking into the PCB pad, improving resistance to vibration-induced solder fatigue by up to 30% compared to straight-tail SMT pins in shock and vibration environments.
What is the total pin count and row configuration of TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR?
The TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR has 34 total positions arranged as 2 rows of 17 pins each at 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch, providing a wide dual-row SMT header footprint compatible with standard 34-pin ribbon cable connectors and mating receptacles.
For which industrial applications is TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR a reliable interconnect choice?
Industrial PLCs, motor drives, and machine vision systems benefit from the 34-pin dual-row 0.100" layout at 3 A per contact, as the top-mount orientation allows vertical board stacking in 19-inch rack enclosures while gold plating maintains signal quality over -55°C to +125°C operating conditions.
Does the TSM-117-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR support high-volume automated assembly?
Yes, the TR (tape-and-reel) packaging delivers parts in standard carrier tape compatible with pick-and-place machines, enabling reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C with throughput exceeding 1000 placements per hour in automated SMT lines.
